Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

Neiji Okamura

In Tonghua Front Enemy Headquarters, a combat staff officer walked towards Luo Zhang as soon as he put down the phone.After paying a military salute to Luo Zhang, he reported: "Secretary, the air force called. All the compatriots captured by the Japanese army were released by the Japanese army 10 minutes ago...According to the air force's reconnaissance, these civilians have completely fled the battlefield... "

Teacher Luo Zhang was overjoyed, and said excitedly: "Okay, the little devil has finally let him go...>

After finishing speaking, he ordered with a serious face to the subordinates around him: "Immediately notify all the combat troops in the position and quickly prepare for the battle. Especially the artillery and air force, be prepared to provide fire support to the infantry at any time..."

"Yes, Master...>

Losing the Chinese hostages, for Major General Mu Shan, the capture of Tonghua County became a battle that was far away and full of ups and downs.Therefore, in order to seize the increasingly urgent time for myself.As soon as the time stipulated by the two sides arrived, the skirmish line attack formation formed by the two infantry squadrons of the Japanese army appeared on the edge of the battlefield.

Commander Luo Zhang, standing at the lookout of the forward headquarters, saw every move of the Japanese army very clearly through the high-power binoculars.Then, a sneer appeared on his face, and he muttered to himself: "You little devil, finally learned to be clever... Knowing our strong firepower, we have pulled the offensive formation so loose... >

As soon as the words fell, Huang Qinghua, the head of the 226th regiment behind him, was full of disdain, and it reached his ears.

"Master seat, the little devil on the other side is too underestimating our combat power... >

Luo Zhang, who was full of confidence in his army, agreed undeniably: "In this case, Captain Huang, I will leave these two devils in the squadron to you. I hope you will not let me down and eat these two devils." Squadron...>

subsequently.Turning the subject, he reminded: "In addition, because the Japanese army's offensive formation is too scattered, and there are no tanks to assist in the attack. Therefore, in the battle later, neither the heavy artillery nor the air force can provide strong fire support for your department. Therefore, in the battle, you can only rely on yourself. The last reminder: Be sure to pay attention to the grenadiers of the Japanese army. Send special personnel to be responsible for destroying the grenadiers of the Japanese army..."

"Master, please rest assured, we promise to keep all these more than 300 devils in front of our camp... >

"Everything..." A series of dull mortar shells ejected came to Luo Zhang's ears.12 60-caliber mortars under the two infantry companies of the second-line defenders.As promised, he began to attack the Japanese troops, firing a shower of mortar shells.

Although the lethality of the 60mm small-caliber shell is not great.However, hundreds of fragments were produced by the explosion of the shell.It will still deal a devastating blow to all lives within a few meters around the impact point.

The whistling sound of shells passing through the sky had just spread, and the division commander Luo Zhang had already raised the binoculars again.

Twelve shells exploded, and more than a dozen black smoke quickly rose from the loose Japanese attack formation.Under Luo Zhang's careful search, after the explosion, at least six Japanese soldiers fell silently on the attacking road, life and death uncertain.

On the other hand, the Japanese army, which was not affected by the shells, relied on their own combat experience after hearing the sound of cannons ringing again in the air.Those who were close to the shells quickly lay down on the ground, and after the explosion of the shells, they jumped up from the ground, held their rifles, and continued to attack.As for those who are far away from the impact point of the shell, they will continue to attack without being affected.

"Sure enough, they are the elite little devils who have experienced World War I. Small-caliber mortars have no effect on them... >

At this moment, hundreds of Japanese troops had advanced to a position less than 400 meters away from the position.

The more than ten heavy machine guns that the Japanese army attacked with the team immediately dispersed, set up in temporary machine gun positions, and fired more than ten suppressive tongues of flames at the defenders' positions.

The three or four infantry companies of the 226 regiment that stood firm did not let the Japanese wait too long.

Just as the roar of the Japanese Type [-] heavy machine gun rang out, the hissing of more than a dozen general-purpose machine guns on the blocking position also rang out.More than a dozen machine gun flames, thicker than the Japanese army, quickly swept towards the Japanese heavy machine gun positions.

At the same time, twelve small-caliber mortars quickly changed their shooting targets, and poured shells into the positions of Japanese heavy machine guns regardless of consumption.

Under Luo Zhang's attention, in less than half a minute, the Japanese army specially dispersed 12 heavy machine guns, except for two that were lucky enough not to be bombed because they retreated in time.The remaining machine guns, including the shooters of the primary and secondary machine guns scattered around the heavy machine guns, without exception, were all blown into a pile of the most primitive parts...[

Of course, the Japanese army's mobile and flexible mortars did not fail to counterattack.However, as soon as their counterattack started, they would attract fierce counterattacks from the infantry artillery companies of the 226 regiment battalions and the mountain artillery battalion directly under the regiment headquarters.

A mortar unit of the Japanese army had just participated in the battle for less than half a minute, and it was blown to pieces and completely disappeared from the Japanese army formation...>

Successfully wiped out the Japanese heavy machine gun position, more than a dozen general-purpose machine guns that were screaming cheerfully, quickly shifted the shooting target, and transferred the muzzle of the black hole machine gun to the Japanese infantry who had advanced to 300 meters...

More than a dozen tongues of fire swept across the Japanese attacking formation. Dozens of Japanese soldiers were caught off guard and instantly turned into hornet's nests and fell on the attacking road.And more people lay down on the ground, crawling forward, while avoiding the dense rain of bullets above their heads, while continuing to attack.

Soon, the fire zone, which was completely scorched by the artillery fire for two hours, was trampled under the feet of the Japanese army.

I saw craters with a depth of more than one meter in front of me.Surprised expressions appeared on the faces of the Japanese light machine gunners and grenadiers.because.With the cover of these craters, their chances of surviving on the battlefield.will become bigger.

A crooked handle, a grenadier operated by a single person, was immediately set up in the bomb crater by the Japanese army...

Two infantry squadrons, with a total of 12 grenades, under the control of Japanese grenadiers, hid in the crater of heavy artillery shells and fired grenades at the defenders' positions.

Without any warning, 12 grenades seemed to have eyes.It landed very accurately on the blocking position.

A violent explosion sounded, and the two general-purpose machine guns, including the machine gunner, were directly shrouded in smoke from the grenade explosion, and no longer fired bullets...

"The grenade is a Japanese grenade, and the devil's grenade has finally been dispatched...>

subsequently.Quickly raised the binoculars and began to search for the location of the Japanese grenades...

"Damn it, the little devil is really impatient with the grenadier. He can shoot so accurately at a distance of 200 meters... >

Facing the subordinates around him, he decisively ordered: "Brothers, the little devils are hiding in the crater 200 meters away, all snipers pay attention. Eat these grenadiers for me... >

"Boom...>

In a bomb crater 200 meters away, a grenade had just been fired and successfully hit a Japanese grenadier with a general-purpose machine gun.Just when he raised his head and raised his right thumb horizontally, he wanted to lock the target of the next grenade through visual inspection.A bullet that rushed at high speed precisely hit the space between his eyebrows.

Holding a grenadier in one hand and measuring distance with the other, he has joined the army for five years and can be called an elite grenadier in the Japanese army.Directly under the action of the huge inertia carried by the bullet, with a face full of unwillingness, he fell heavily behind him.

The shooter of the grenade was shot dead, and stood by, the deputy shooter who was responsible for fuzing the grenade.He didn't realize that a sniper, known as the God of Death on the battlefield, had already targeted the grenadier in front of him.

The moment the shooter fell to the ground, the sub-shooter, who was already holding a grenade in his hand, subconsciously grabbed the grenade that also fell to the ground.Stand it up again, shoot your head out of the crater, look for the attack target, and get ready to launch.

However, his life, by this time, had come to an end.

Just when his head stuck out of the crater, a murderous sneer suddenly flashed across the face of the sniper who successfully sniped the shooter.After aiming the sniper scope at the eyebrow of the deputy shooter again, he pulled the trigger without hesitation... >

Another muffled gunshot sounded on the battlefield, and the high-spirited little devil's deputy shooter hadn't had time to fire a grenade.With a face full of disbelief, with a flick of the eyebrows, he fell beside his partner... [

With 12 grenadiers and 24 grenadiers, in a blink of an eye, they became the ghosts of six sniper teams.

The heavy machine gun unit was wiped out, followed by the grenadier unit. Six sniper teams and 12 snipers quickly turned their guns, and together with the machine gunners, they wiped out the dozen or so crooked soldiers that the Japanese attacking unit relied on. handle...>

Soon, under the suppression of general-purpose machine gun fire and the joint cooperation of snipers' precision strikes, in less than half a minute, the 12 crooked light machine guns hidden in the bomb crater misfired one after another.

The battle has progressed here and the final victory has been achieved. For the defenders, there will be no changes.

A confident smile quickly appeared on the face of Captain Huang Qinghua, who was in command on the battlefield.In a good mood, he personally picked up a semi-automatic rifle, lay on the edge of the trench, and fired bullets at the Japanese army lying in front of the position, like shooting a target.At the same time, he shouted excitedly at the subordinates around him.

"Brothers, concentrate your firepower, hit me hard, and kill these bastards..."

On the wide battlefield 150 meters to 200 meters in front of the position, there is no longer a wriggling Japanese rear.The intense gunfire that lasted for 5 minutes finally stopped.Nuo Da battlefield became deathly quiet again.

certainly.This kind of tranquility is not without paying.In front of the second line of defense.The densely packed corpses of more than [-] Japanese soldiers in various poses are the price the Japanese army paid for this attack...

Japanese Army No.15 Brigade Headquarters.Hear the latest battle report from his subordinates on the front line.The head of the brigade, Major General Mu Shan, was so angry that ink could drip from his face.

After waving the command knife in his hand again and chopping off another corner of the table, he slowly calmed down.

Facing his subordinates with the same dignified faces, he said in a deep voice: "From the current situation, if we continue to attack like this, there will be no difference except death... Let's all talk about what we should do next. What? Take Tonghua County...>

Just when everyone remained motionless and was about to answer the brigade commander with silence.A staff officer with the rank of captain on his shoulder suddenly broke into the headquarters and walked quickly to Major General Mu Shan.

A telegram was handed over and he reported: "Brigade Commander, Major General Gangcun, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army Headquarters has an urgent call...>

"Gangcun Deputy Chief of Staff...Is he the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army's Intelligence Section? Could it be that our army's actions in Tonghua were known by Gangcun Deputy Chief of Staff...>

subsequently.After receiving the telegram, I began to browse carefully.

However, what Major General Mushan did not expect was that the content of the telegram was not the reprimand he had imagined.Instead give yourself advice, help yourself... >

As the chief directly under the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army, what happened in Tonghua County.It is impossible to hide Okamura Ningji's sharp eyes like a falcon.However, as a rare general in the Japanese military.After hearing about it for the first time, he didn't scold Major General Mu Shan for being stupid.Report this situation.Instead, I want to use my ability to help Major General Mushan and the Kwantung Army...

The telegram in front of him is a suggestion from Neiji Okamura to Major General Kiyama: Through civil engineering work on the battlefield, reduce the threat of the defenders' air force and artillery, gradually encroach on the defenders' positions, and eventually occupy Tonghua County.

At this moment, if Li Guosheng saw this telegram, he would be stunned.Because, the tactics proposed by Ningji Okamura are the most commonly used siege tactics used by the Taizu army of later generations relying on millet and rifles to attack the city and defeat the fortresses, and finally defeated the Jiang army.

As a middle-ranking officer of the later Republic, he has studied various tactics and tactics used by Taizu's army, and even some classic battle cases, to varying degrees.It can be said with certainty that in siege battles, civil engineering operations have decisive benefits for attacking troops that do not have equipment and firepower advantages.

As a senior officer of the Japanese Army who had experienced World War I, Major General Kiyama's tactical literacy is definitely not covered.Facing the telegram, after less than half a minute of silence, he discovered the great benefits hidden in this tactic.

A trace of deep surprise quickly rushed to the face of Major General Mu Shan, the head of the brigade.Facing the surrounding subordinates, he said to himself: "Yo Xi, the deputy chief of staff of Gangcun is indeed a rare talent among the heroes of the empire. He can solve such a difficult situation in front of him. Our No. The 15th Brigade has been saved, and the tens of thousands of Kwantung Army elites have been saved..."

Seeing Major General Mu Shan with an inexplicable surprise on his face, the chief of staff of the brigade also knew that the content of the telegram must be a good thing, so he asked eagerly: "Brigade commander, I just heard that you have a solution to the current predicament. is that true?"

The head of the brigade, Major General Mu Shan, nodded confidently at first, then shook his head, and under the doubtful eyes of everyone, he replied: "There is indeed a way to break the situation, but I didn't come up with this way, but Major General Gangcun, the deputy chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, came up with it. More importantly, as long as there are no accidents, this strategy will definitely help us win Tonghua...>

The doubtful expressions on everyone's faces were instantly covered by expectations because of the confident words of the brigade head in front of them.He stared at a pair of fiery eyes, waiting for the brigade commander to write down.

Major General Mu Shan didn't keep everyone waiting too long. After clearing his throat, he quickly told the contents of the telegram verbatim.

Afterwards, he walked to a simple combat sand table and opened his mouth to analyze: "For a long time, although our Imperial Japanese Army has paid attention to civil work on the battlefield, all civil work has been used for defense. However, Chief of Staff Okamura's proposal, It just overturned the thoughts in all of us and applied civil engineering operations to siege battles."

"Through the trenches with a depth of more than two meters, the lethality of the defenders' heavy artillery and air force on our infantry should be weakened as much as possible. At the same time, through the method of continuously digging forward in the trenches, we can easily avoid the defenders' machine guns to intercept firepower, and at the same time shorten our infantry as much as possible. The attack distance of the attacking troops achieves the goal of capturing the defenders' positions with minimum casualties...>

When Major General Mushan said this, the eyes of the chief of staff of the brigade also lit up, and he suggested: "Brigade commander, I also have a small suggestion...We can set the time for civil engineering work at night. In the case of air force reconnaissance, a series of trenches and traffic trenches are built in front of the defensive positions. At the same time, some concealed objects that can provide cover for the trenches can also be covered on the top of some important trenches, and the trenches and attacking troops can be concealed. ..."

"Yo Xi, this is a good idea...>

Then, facing the subordinates around him, he said: "Everyone is an excellent officer of the Imperial Army, think about it carefully, see if you can come up with some feasible suggestions, improve this strategy as much as possible, and win Tonghua County in one fell swoop... "(to be continued...)
